January 2009 edit

  If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Nailsea School, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Your edits to Nailsea School, Bristol City FC and others are clearly a conflict of interest. TimTay (talk) 16:44, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Paul Spiring in 2008.jpeg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Paul Spiring in 2008.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.

Sock puppetry edit

  You have been accused of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Prspiring. Thank you.

Undershaw edit

Thanks for your note, I have replied on my page. I have left a few tips re: Undershaw there. One quick bit of well-meaning advice is to sign your personal posts with 4 of these ~ and the "bot" will automaticly do the rest. It's a clubby place, Wikipedia is, and that's one of our fussy conventions. Thanks again, and best wishes, Jusdafax 21:44, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

And thanks also for your note to me. It's been very interesting and educational for me! I only stumbled across it because I have a (very) passing interest in Hindhead and its soon-to-be-open tunnel ... amazing what you can learn here! See you around, best wishes, DBaK (talk) 14:00, 21 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
